Duke Energy's new logo will roll out across the company's six-state service area early next year. You can compare it to Duke's current logo and Progress Energy's logo by clicking through to the additional pictures.

The new green-and-blue logo will roll out across Duke’s Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky footprint and in its Duke Energy Carolinas franchise in March.

Progress Energy Carolinas will become Duke Energy Progress in April. At the same time, Progress Energy Florida will become Duke Energy. The new Duke logo will be introduced in those markets then. The Duke Energy Progress logo will be different from other company logos, incorporating the Progress name. That version of the logo will be displayed on the Progress headquarters in downtown Raleigh early next year.

The logo changes represent “a new beginning for a unified and stronger Duke Energy,” Chief Executive Jim Rogers says in a prepared statement. “It also recognizes the rich histories of both Duke Energy and Progress Energy, reflecting the image of a world-class energy company.”

New design

The new logo eliminates the large red “D” that has been part of Duke’s logo since 1997, after the merger of Duke Power Co. and PanEnergy, when the company was renamed Duke Energy Corp.

The “D” is replaced by an abstract star — colored dark blue, sky blue and green — based on the red and orange Progress Energy star with the swoosh from the large letter in the current Duke logo. “Duke Energy” is printed in block letters in dark blue, rather than the italic black letters of the current logo.

Duke says the three colors are designed to “reflect Duke Energy’s commitment to sustainability, technology and energy efficiency.”
